Gun Control

Another Step Closer to an Orwellian Despotic Utopia.

With recent Liberal tactics of information retrieval from the private bank accounts of Canadian citizens coming to light [1], it comes as no surprise whatever that the laughable recent online ‘Public Forum’ on Firearms Ownership was actually Bill Blair’s personal looking glass into the homes and minds of Canadian gun owners.

You may recall that Bill Blair, former Chief of Toronto Police (from 2005 -2015), was forced to step down from his position by The Toronto Police Services Board after a series of unbecoming “incidents” (namely, the G20 and the investigation into Mayor Rob Ford.) He proceeded to reinvent himself as a politician with the assistance of the Liberal Party of Canada in 2015, despite his tarnished record.

Appointed in 2018 to cabinet as Minister of Border Security and Organized Crime Reduction (a ludicrously named new portfolio invented during the government of Justin Trudeau), Bill Blair has always been a vocal and highly biased opponent to firearms ownership in Canada. He recently revealed that all information retrieved from the online poll, including the ‘personal comments section’, has been recorded alongside the I.P. addresses of every individual that voluntarily took the “anonymous” government survey.[2]

This, of course, means that anything the Liberal Government and their gun-grabbing RCMP Thought Police (Thinkpol) can misconstrue from your anonymous words and answers can and will be used against you. They now have full licence to do so and apparent impunity for their actions. They know who you are, much of what you think, where you live and how much money you earn and save. They also now know, with no uncertainty, your personal opinions on firearm ownership and confiscation.

Lazy-eyed, a crooked smile stretched wide across his face (looking more like a stroke victim or a corpse every day), Bill Blair must be privately dancing a jig in his dusty old police uniform, medals jingling and jangling. How are people not outraged and rioting in the streets over this farce? Why are we not demanding justice, accountability and impeachment for these gross invasions of privacy? Oh yes, it’s because we’re docile, bovine and subservient Canadians. Evidently we’ll trade liberty for a controlled, sedate existence, ignoring the iron heel, the boot stamping on our faces—forever.

Trudeau’s Mimicking Birds

Recent current events indicate that Canada is approaching a very slippery slope. It is apparent that evermore oppressive gun restrictions are on the horizon if left to the discretion of the Liberals and socialists.

For example we need only look to “worship” John Tory, reelected as Mayor of Toronto on Oct. 22, 2018. Tory has made a renewed call for gun control laws in the city asking “why does anyone in Toronto need a gun?” at a recent city council meeting. [1] Tory apparently believes that a total handgun & ammunition ban in The City of Toronto is the solution to gun-related crime. He declared this openly, clearly forgetting the fact that in 2008, he was quoted in the National Post as saying that “the real problem was guns coming over the border, and a handgun ban isn’t the answer.” [2]

And let us not forget the ‘honourable’ M.P. Bill Blair, minister of border security and organized crime reduction. His misguided initiative to ban handguns and assault rifles Canadawide in 2019 has been well advertised and is slated for immediate rollout should the Liberals achieve reelection.

Blair’s ‘objective’ of seeking out public opinion on firearms by way of a ‘consulting tour’, a “charade to give the impression of action without a definitive commitment” [3] while simultaneously vilifying legal firearm owners and fudging statistical data, can only result in a single conclusion.

Undoubtedly, Blair will deduce on behalf of all Canadian citizens that firearms “cause crime” and are synonymous with iniquity. Firearms, he argues, must be removed from the possession of legal gun owners to prevent them from falling into the hands of gang members and criminals.

Mr. Blair said he “wants the consultations to be completed by the end of the year”, which means that any legislation to ban handguns could be introduced as early as 2019. The government will thereby “change firearms laws without any guarantee that the measure will reduce crime.” [4]

Canadian gun owners are now truly under attack by the current Liberal regime. Our government would seem to be running out the clock before the next major election and are poised for a crackdown on legal gun owners. We hear nebulous rumors of a restricted firearms ban, talk of centralized storage facilities for restricted firearms and murmurs of reclassification (categorization of “non-restricted firearm” to “hunting firearm” and “restricted firearm” to “circumscribed firearm.” [5]) Harsh sounding words like ‘assault rifle’ are constantly being parroted, saturating the media and discouraging rational debate.

With the Liberal’s disastrous blunders now becoming known, the upcoming election is looming large. It is obvious that in order to minimize their shortcomings (unsustainable debt, social & economic gaffes and gross freedom and privacy violations), Liberals are now sensationalizing their only “accomplishment”, taking a hard stance on gun crime to coincide with the election.

Marijuana legalization is the single feather in their caps, the only Liberal campaign promise that has been fulfilled. The exaggeration of firearm related crime in Canada, accompanied by sensational, breathless talk of a handgun ban is being used to expedite their re-election. Our once great nation’s rights and freedoms are on the Liberal chopping block, and we dare not say a single thing about it.

The Liberal model of removing firearms from private ownership for the safety of all is surely folly. We must remember the old adage “If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns” [6], for criminals will surely continue to find ways to obtain guns illicitly. If we don’t put a stop to this government and their envisioned misdeeds now, the agendas set forth in their first term will undoubtedly come to fruition during their second.

As ridiculous as the questionnaire is, we at RWN urge all Canadian Firearms owners to answer the Public Safety dialogue on the government website, available until Nov 10th.

Answer the multiple choice and be sure to reiterate in the comments section the foolishness and obvious ignorance of the questions asked. For example, the questionnaire defines ‘assault weapons’ and then rhetorically asks the public if they want ‘easier access to them’. Let them have it.

Equally important, the National Firearms Association have started an e-Petition concerning Canadian firearms rights. Let the Liberal government know that they cannot slide this extreme affront to our rights and freedoms under the radar. Make it clear that you, as a Conservative Canadian, are paying attention and will not stand for this balderdash.

Just in Time for Halloween…

Bill C-71, already a work in progress, is slated to be passed into law by the end of 2018. If put in place it will effectively create a new “backdoor gun registry”, to be kept by retailers, itemizing all firearms sales and inventories. “Businesses would have to record dates, references and licence numbers and the firearm’s make, model, type and serial number.” [1] These records would be made available to law enforcement agencies, by way of a warrant, when investigating firearm involved crimes, and must be kept for 20 years by the retailer.

Bill C-71 will also necessarily demand increased background checks on those applying for Possession and Acquisition Licences. An applicant’s entire life history would be laid out and scrutinized for “red flags” prior to approval, not just the preceding 5 years before application, as the law presently requires. The Bill will undoubtedly make it more difficult to obtain and keep a gun licence (P.A.L.) [2]

Furthermore, the Bill aims to restrict transportation of firearms, making it more difficult for gun owners to carry out “certain routine activities, like target shooting, taking a firearm home after a transfer, or going to a gunsmith or a gun show.” The only form of transport to remain unaffected would be the conveyance of a restricted firearm to and from a certified shooting range. All other transportation of restricted firearms would require that a Authorization to Transport (A.T.T.) document be obtained. [3]

Bill C-71 also aims to immediately reclassify as ‘Prohibited’ between 10,000 – 15,000 legally purchased and owned rifles, including many specifically used for hunting purposes (such as the CZ 858 and Swiss Arms). Many of these firearms cost in excess of $4,000, the cost of which will not be reimbursed by government agencies. Owners of newly prohibited firearms could face 10 years in prison if they fail to comply with new ownership requirements. The government, to date, has not outlined any plan to notify these owners when the changes take effect. [4]

A “review” on a restricted (i.e. handgun) ban in Canada is also currently underway. The ban is spearheaded by former RCMP M.P. Bill Blair and targets law abiding gun-owners. “The Canadian government’s possible ban on handguns and semi-automatic long guns such as the SKS, the AR-15 and the FN-FAL rifles” could result in the confiscation of over $2 billion worth of guns and equipment from private Canadian gun owners. [5]“Blair’s main goal seems to be to keep a lid on the gun conversation over the next year… not giving the Conservatives any ammunition (pardon the pun) for a revival of the old gun debates of the 1990’s” [6] before the Liberals seek reelection.

Rest assured, if the Liberal’s attain another majority government on October 21st, 2019, the stripping of Canadian’s firearms and freedoms will be foremost on their agenda once again. Bill C-71 is the thin end of a very large wedge, which, when pounded down people’s throats, will make our present day restrictions seem like a memory of heaven.
